I could not find any reference for javaws and/or jnlp in the debian
policy manual. Has anyone any experience with distributing .jnlp
within debian package ? What is the jnlp location ? What is the helper
script (javaws helper) ?
Thanks much,

I am not sure we have such things.
It would be nice if you could write a draft for the policy about this
subject ?

Here are a few observations around this topic based on my years of Java
development and my Debian involvement:
1.) javaws and jnlp has pretty much always required the full non-free
JRE, I don't think it was ever a thought to package a Java Web Start
application in main, much less develop guidelines for it.
2.) Java Web Start and jnlp have had marginal adoption over the years
and are considered passé by most Java developers I know and work with.
Is there a particular Java Web Start application you had in mind?
3.) Does OpenJDK fully support javaws/jnlp, and in particular the
application(s) being considered for packaging? If not, bear in mind that
these packages will always live in non-free if they require the official
Oracle JDK.
Regards,

I have no background on whether or not jnlp should/should not be
dropped. My only interested is on the pixelmed package:
I personnally use (offline) DicomImageViewer, DoseUtility &
DicomCleaner. However I /could/ imagine that some users would want
those distributed as original jnlp instead of command line script.
Thanks again for comments,

Launching of jnlp files are supported by the javaws tool from the icedtea-web project and can be used in combination with icedtea built openjdk.
It would be nice if the jnlp file suffix/mimetype gets associated with the icedtea-netx provided javaws tool.
It should then be possible to launch .jnlp files from within the web-browser and nautilus.
You can use javaws to start your the .jnlp files below:

javaws and jnlp were always part of OpenJDK. They are now replaced by IcedTea
implementations in icedtea-web as Xerxes did point.
Why are people so quick to use the non-free java, if they don't even check for
the current status?
